BRAZILIAN wonderkid Victor Andrade is assessing his options as he looks to make a summer move to Europe.

The forward's contract with Santos comes to an end on 30 September and the 18-year-old is keen to try his luck away from his homeland.

The youngster previously had a spell in Benfica's youth team and his father, Nelson Andrade, hasn't ruled out a return to Portugal.

But Andrade - whose godfather is former Manchester City star Robinho - has previously said a move to the Premier League would appeal, with Chelsea, Arsenal and City all thought to be monitoring the situation.

Andrade Sr. told Lancenet: "Benfica are an interesting option. The interest in Victor is very strong there and he played there as an 11-year-old.

"His choice was to play for Santos this season, but now he wants to follow in the footsteps of his idols.

"The level of interest in him is well-established but [Benfica] is an option.

"If it was about money he would go to Ukraine because Shaktar will put €8m (£6.5m) in his pocket.
